New York: day 4

I’m such a morning person, so if you travel with me and especially if you make me organize our trip you have to face with this characteristic of mine. This is why we took the first elevator of the day to Empire State Building and we skipped breakfast for doing so (I swear we went at Starbucks right after we get down, I’m not that crazy). I think it was all worth it anyway as we were a few people and we could watch quietly the panorama. I really liked it, we were so up that what I was seeing looked unreal to me (that’s quite visible by the fact I standed really close the balaustrade, I’m usually to scared to do so). Anyway I’ve liked it less than Top Of The Rock that has a better view on Central Park and because I like to see the Empire on the panorama, thing you cannot do if you’re inside it eheh 😉 Uh I forgot to say that even this was included in our New York CityPass!

Next stop was the American Museum Of Natural History (included in New York CityPass) where we arrived short after the opening and get out at 4 P.M.! We visited it all and I was superexcited in doing so as two parts of me came out the biology-nerd aka soon-to-be-scientist with the 6-years-old me, so I was smiling and jumping for happiness all the time. I’ve also watched a bilion times Night At Museum a thousand times so it was such an experience for me and time flew by.

I’ve told you more than once that I was a softball player, that my favorite sport is baseball and how much these two sports had changed my life. So a thing I really couldn’t miss was attending a match in the most important stadium on earth. Lucky me, not only I was watching one of my two favorite teams playing but both of them, as the matches of the week were between Yankees and Dodgers. I’ve tried the experience in the ‘american way’ with the hand to cheer, eating a lot of junk food, following the animations between the innings on the big screen and it was a lot of fun, quite different from baseball matches in Italy, where is a niche sport. I’ve also spent an embarassing amount of money in the Yankees official shop inside the stadium. Oh and see these beanies? We won them at the entrance! This is the end of day 4, stay tuned for day 5 and tell me if you visited too these places!
